Millbrae Montessori

"Millbrae Montessori School was founded in 1981 and is celebrating over 20 years of teaching, learning, and creating happy memories for our students. Since 1981, the directors have kept in contact with many families whose children were once enrolled. Many of the children often come back to visit because of all their many special memories. Parents are always telling us thattheir children have kept their "love of learning" and that they remain self-motivated in their schoolwork.
The basic principle in the Montessori philosophy of education is that each child carries within him an enthusiam for learning during the preschool years. Our goal is to form a solid foundation that children can build on to learn.
